{NATSU'S POV}
I squeeze my eyes shut, not sure whether or not I want to hear Lucy's answer to my lame confession. But after a few seconds of dead silence, I can't bare the dark anymore.

I hesitantly open an eye. If she looks disgusted or something, I'll flee the room. Lucy's hands are covering her mouth and her whole body is shaking.

And she's crying. Profusely. But I can't tell happy from sad tears. Could Lucy have picked a more ambiguous sign? Am I being rejected or not?!

"You really remember?" She squeaks. I nod awkwardly, taking a small step back.

"Woah!" I yelp. With no warning and speed I wasn't expecting from an injured person, Lucy leaps out of her hospital bed and flies into my arms. It takes all my strength not to drop her, and I end up falling on my butt with Lucy straddling me.

I'm beginning to think her tears are happy. Lucy is lying on top of me, and she can surely feel my heart racing in my chest. It's a good thing we're in a hospital, because I might die of severe tachycardia. Can one's heart explode?

When Lucy leapt on me, all the tubes were ripped out of her arms, including the heart monitor, which is now making a loud continuous beep.

We think nothing of it until a team of nurses with a crash chart barrels through the door, expecting to have to resuscitate Lucy. Mr. Heartfilia and Mira are not far behind.

Instead of a dying patient, they all find Lucy and me hugging on the floor, faces flushed with joy and very much alive. Mr. Heartfilia clears his throat, and the nurses smile in relief.

Mira screams.

Her scream sets off another chain reaction, causing every available hospital personnel to run to see what's wrong. Soon, it feels like half the hospital staff are in Lucy's room.

Needless to say, Lucy's and my faces are flaming red for a different reason now. We quickly try to disengage our bodies, but somehow manage to get even more twisted.

Some of the nurses help untangle us, and help Lucy back to bed. They explain to her what all the tubes are for and why she should try not to pull them out. Then they put antiseptic on the wounds where her tubes were pulled out and reconnect everything.

The onlookers left when they realized that everything is fine. Now it's just me, Mr. Heartfilia, and Mira, who is still bouncing with glee.

Honestly, I feel like doing the same. Everything is finally exactly the way I want it. Maybe there is a such thing as happily ever after?
